New Groomer

i just started grooming professionally about 5 months ago and just started experiencing ingrown hairs from short coated dogs. has anyone else heard of or have had this problem. any tips would be greatly appreciated

Or are you talking about hairs that have come away (from whatever reason) reason when grooming, that work their way into the skin? THAT is a rather common problem I've seen, but never seen genuine ingrown hairs, I'm sorry.

Same here girls.....i've never heard of in grown hairs & i've had short haired dogs for last 15yrs

geez i hope this thread is not another wind up started by a troll, but i hope i'm wrong in my suspicions, look at the time that the op last posted...Last Activity: Today 12:07 AM.... does that sound like someone we know who's often here around midnight...

Please accept my apologies OP if you & your thread are genuine & if so you are more than welcome here

Well, I haven't ever encountered genuine ingrown hairs as such like we humans get, but I have encountered teeny weeny shaved pieces of hair that manage to burrow somehow into the skin of the dog and cause...well, infection and idscomfort, so trying to ascertain if that is what she's talking about.

But as OP hasn't come back to answer me, I'll just bugger off...and hope OP isn't another PITA.

i just thought some people may have experienced this before. it isnt as uncommon as some people think and i am talking about dogs hair growing into my skin and causing infection. but after the replies ive read i think ill go somewhere else for advice

And I think more and more people are going to leave and not get advice from the knowledgeable members here, because of the reception they get =( They're always trolls or "re-incarnates". Never actually genuine people that need some help =/
